cinnamon biscotti

It is time to make some biscotti!!!

I has been awhile. I find this slightly humorous as my blog's name has biscotti in it. You would think I would be providing you with a plethora of recipes in a burgeoning file labeled "biscotti". But alas, I have been negligent in my biscotti duties.

I believe I have fulfilled the daily requirement for large words.....:)

ANYWAYS,

I do enjoy a lovely biscotti and I have been looking forward to making this variation since I came upon it earlier in the year. It sounds like it would be the most lovely accompaniment to a chai tea, or a pumpkin spice latte, and a good Jane Austen inspired book :) Sweet cinnamon cookies to dunk in a steaming hot mug of goodness. :)

Here she be. I hope to have some ladies over to enjoy these babies soon!!

3. Whisk together the cinnamon and sugar for the topping and set aside.

4. In a large bowl cream the
butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in egg, egg yolk, milk, and vanilla; beat another minute.

5. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter all at once. With a spoon or spatula, stir ingredients into a ball of dough.

6. Divide the dough in two. Shape each half of
dough into a 9-inch long and 2-inch wide log.

7. Brush with the
beaten egg and sprinkle very liberally with the cinnamon sugar.

8. Bake in the oven for 40 - 45 minutes.

9. Remove from the oven but keep the oven on. Let biscotti cool until
able to handle. Using a serrated knife, cut logs into 1/2-inch wide slices. Place biscotti cut side down on baking sheet and
sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar.
